**Ko wai mātou? - Who we are**

Fire and Emergency New Zealand is a Crown Entity established on 1 July 2017 under the Fire and Emergency New Zealand Act 2017. The role of our new organisation is to reduce unwanted fires, respond to structural and vegetation fires and other emergencies including motor vehicle crashes, medical emergencies, hazardous substance related incidents and natural disasters, and to support increased community resilience.

Our vision is to build stronger communities and protect what matters most to the people within them. We are proud to be recognised as New Zealand’s most trusted public sector agency. Our values reflect what our people believe is core to who we are and the organisation we aspire to be:
We Do the Right Thing - Kia Tika

We Serve and Support - Manaakitanga

We Are Better Together - Whanaungatanga

We Strive to Improve - Auahatanga.

**Mō tēnei tūranga - About the role**

Te Ao Mārama is responsible for supporting Fire and Emergency to use information, evidence and insights in a proactive manner, helping the business understand their knowledge needs and providing access to information and insights to support these knowledge needs. We are a research, evaluation and library team, with a real focus on supporting the organisation to make evidence-based decisions.

**Ko tāu nā i tēnei tūranga - What you’ll bring to the role**

We are looking for an experienced evaluation professional to:

- partner with key stakeholders (internal and external) to provide expert advice on the national Research and Evaluation Strategy and research and evaluation priorities for Fire and Emergency; and identify important strategic questions that require research and evaluation.
- establish and maintain strong relationships with Executive Leadership Team (ELT), and other management teams, to ensure research and evaluation needs are met and outputs are visible and used.
- represent Fire and Emergency’s research and evaluation priorities, deliverables and work programme to senior stakeholders and external forums.
- ensure all research and evaluation that is undertaken recognises the importance and significance of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, upholding its key principles throughout each project.

This role requires a people-person with strong relationship management skills, someone who is passionate about research and evaluation, and is equally pragmatic to getting things done to obtain the best evidence possible in a timely way.

At Fire and Emergency New Zealand we value diversity and everything it brings to our organisation.

If you’re looking for an opportunity to put your research and evaluation skills to use and help make a difference for our communities, then this could be the job for you
